5 SHRM Competency Model The SHRM Competency Model is the most rigorous, thoroughly researched HR competency model. SHRM surveyed 30,000+ participants and conducted 100+ focus groups from over 33 countries. 5

6 Testing for Competencies The SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams will include a combination of competency-based and knowledge-oriented questions. The exam will be questions and will take approximately 3 hours to complete. o SHRM will utilize Situational Judgment (SJ) items (or questions) to assess competencies. SJ items describe a scenario and provide a variety of behavioral-based approaches to resolving the issues portrayed in the scenario; examinees are asked to select the most appropriate approach; several questions may be based on the same scenario o SJ-based exams are a proven approach to assessing competencies o SHRM is partnering with a premier test development organization with deep expertise in the development of SJ-based assessments 6
